Los Angeles Smash Burger Restaurant For the Win Opens in San Diego | Eater San Diego
"A popular smash-burger micro-chain based in Los Angeles opened its first location outside the greater L.A. area in early July in Pacific Beach. The menu mirrors its Los Angeles offerings with a simple lineup of mostly smash burgers, french fries, and accompaniments. The signature smash burger (available with or without American cheese) comes with a single three-ounce patty, smashed thin on the grill until crispy; pickles and fries are layered on top of the patty before it's all sandwiched in a Martin’s potato bun. The burger can be ordered with two or three patties for a few dollars more and customized with tomato, lettuce, jalapeños, and bacon. Sides include thin-cut, crispy french fries, sweet potato fries, and Brussels sprouts deep-fried in beef tallow and dressed with balsamic vinegar. Thick, creamy milkshakes come in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Located at 1037 Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach and open daily from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., the newcomer lands in an already impressive San Diego burger scene — including Michelin Guide–recognized competitors like Tanner’s Prime Burgers and the Butchery — but its low price point and consistent quality should make it a welcome addition." - Rebecca Roland
